Here is chapter eleven and as promised it is longer than the others. I had a good week, I hope you all did as well.
Please enjoy.
Please review.
KPOV
My parents were due to arrive in half an hour and I was freaking out. I just wanted everything to be perfect. I was currently in my room trying to find something to wear, nothing appealed to me and I was getting really frustrated. At that moment Rob walked in, I looked up at him then looked away. Tears filled up my eyes, stupid hormones. Rob still never said anything as he sat down next to me on the bed. He took my hand and picked me up and put me down on his lap so I was straddling him. He laid down on his back and pulled me down as well so I was laying on him. At this point I was sniffling. He made comforting strokes up and down my back.
"Sweetheart, no more tears it's not worth it", he told me. I tried to interrupt but he put a hand gently over my mouth, stopping me from speaking.
"I know what you will say. It doesn't matter what you wear, your parents love you as you are. I love you as you are. Anything will do just as long as you are there". He was right, he always was. I sighed. I snuggled more into his neck and breathed in his scent. He was still stroking my back. I moved my hips to get in a more comfortable position when Rob groaned. Oops. I tried to get off him but he grabbed my waist and held me down.
"Just give me a minute", he whispered. I nodded. I knew he was hard as I could feel it but I wasn't in the mood and I could tell he knew as well. He slowly rose to a sitting position and I followed. I was straddling him again. Gently he lifted me up and put me back on the bed next to him.
"My parents will probably be wondering where I am. How about you get dressed and sort yourself out while I do the same in the bathroom?" I nodded. He kissed me on my forehead and rose from the bed.
"You will be fine", was his final words as he left me to get dressed. I was scared for tonight and I didn't know why.

I finished relieving myself in the bathroom and was going to speak with my parents in the living room when I heard them talking.
"My little boy is growing up so fast. Can you believe that he will be a father soon?" My mother excitedly said.
"Don't you think he is rushing into things, he still has a future in front of him and this puts a stopper on things?" My father replied.
"I don't, they are happy and obviously very serious about the relationship". My mother answered back. I was cut short in listening to the conversation as the doorbell rang. Kristen's parents.
I rushed to the door and opened it to see John and Jules Stewart. They were both smiling and John held a bottle of champagne whilst Jules held a bouquet of flowers.
"Come in", I told them. They both stepped over the threshold and let me take their coats and their presents
"Mum, dad", Kristen called from a distance. She ran past me and embraced them. I left them alone so they could have some privacy. I walked into the living room and put the gifts on the table and left their jackets on the couch. My parents were staring at me. I smiled and they smiled back.
At that moment Kris and her parents walked into the room laughing. Jules spoke first.
"It's a pleasure to meet you at last". All the parents shook hands and hugs and welcoming's. I walked over to Kristen and wrapped my arms around her from behind. She was nervously biting her lip, a habit she shared with Bella Swan.
"It will be okay", I whispered in her ear.
"Robert dear could you help me bring the food out from the kitchen please", my mother asked.
"Sure", I replied. I let go of Kristen and went to help my mum.
KPOV
I watched as Rob walked away and sighed, this was going to be a long and hard night. I overheard Rob's parents talking earlier and it kind of upset me. I've got a horrible feeling that I'm going to end up in tears by the end of it.
"Let's all get ready for dinner", I said motioning them towards the dinner table. They all nodded. We were all seated when Rob and his mum brought all the food in. Let the games begin.
RPOV
We said grace and then started eating. Conversation was slow but soon rounded on the pregnancy issue.
"Are you excited about being grandparents?" My mother asked.
"Yeah, it's an amazing thing to have happened". Kristen's mother replied. The two women kept gushing about the baby; I tuned them out and concentrated on my father. He was moving his food around the plate, disengaged from the conversation. I don't understand, earlier he sounded happy about the baby and now it's like he hates it. I'm confused.
RICHARD POV
I'm really happy for Robert and Kristen, I really am but I feel that he has ruined his career. He is such a kind and gentle soul and I know that he would rather be at home with the baby than working. When the baby is born, I just know that he will stop his career. He should have been more careful.
"Richard", I was pulled from my thoughts when someone called my name. It was Clare.
"Pardon", I replied.
"Jules was just asking how you feel about the baby", she told me. I knew that she could tell when I was lying and she would bring it up. I might as well say the truth.
"I'm happy, I really am. It's just couldn't they have been more careful. It's a life changing situation and they have their whole future ahead of them and they have ruined it". There was silence when I finished. I looked at Robert, he was mad.
RPOV
I can't believe what my father just said. How could he feel like that? The baby was an accident but a good one. A very good one.
"Dad. How could you say that? We didn't plan it. We were careful. You want to know how careful we were." My voice was rising.
"Kristen never missed the pill. Every day without fail she took it. Every time we made love, I wore a condom. It never broke. It was just fate that a baby was produced. The shock has gone and I am so glad that it has happened. I wouldn't change for anything. As for my career, I would give it up if it means missing out on my child growing up. You were correct in that I have my whole future ahead of me but my future consists of a wife and children. It is far more important than my career". I was breathing heavily and all eyes were focused on me. Without realising it I was standing up from my chair.
My eyes met Kristen's, they were sad and guilty. Why did my father have to say something like that? Kristen will be thinking that he hates her.
KPOV
He hates me. He hates me. He believes that I will ruin Rob's career. I won't stop him but it is his choice whether his father thinks it is a good one or not. I didn't think that having this baby would hold him back. Will he hate me for ruining his career? I was so into my thoughts that I didn't notice Rob come behind me. He put his hands on my shoulder and squeezed them, he knew what I was thinking.
"You've upset Kristen dad. She thinks that you hate her, that you resent her for having this baby", Rob said calmly to his father. He was trying to keep his anger in check.
"I never said that I hate her. How do you know what she is thinking anyway? Can you read her thoughts?" He was being sarcastic toward the end. Why was he behaving like this? I also thought that he was a nice man, what happened.
JOHN POV
He was making my little girl cry, he was effectively blaming them for conceiving a child. He was taking the happiness away from them. I couldn't have that.
"Why are you taking away this special miracle from them? It is Robert's decision regarding his career and I bet they have enough money to last them the rest of their lives. What he does is up to him? He is a grown man and can do whatever he pleases. It is not their fault so you shouldn't blame my daughter or your son. What happened, happened? There is no going back." This was turning out to be the dinner from hell. I never believed that Roberts father would act like this.
RPOV
Kristen's father stood up for us against my own father but what I really wanted was for my mother to stand up for us. I looked over at the mothers and they were sitting at the table not saying anything.
"Mum". I said.
"Say something".
She sighed. I don't know what is going through her mind.
CLARE POV
I'm ashamed at what my husband was saying. This new addition to the family is something to be celebrated not the subject of a fight.
"Richard, I'm sorry but if you are thinking that that is the case then I don't think that I can be around you this evening. I'm sorry". I rose from the chair and walked towards the bathroom. He wasn't being fair and was taking this happy moment away.
KPOV
Robs mother walked away and I saw tears in her eyes. I rose from my seat as well and followed her.
"I'll talk to her". I told Rob.
JULES POV
The drama tonight was horrible and the baby is right in the middle. If Kristen isn't careful, she will end up in hospital again and it could be worse. I haven't said anything because I don't know what to say. I watched as Kristen followed Clare. This night was turning into a disaster.
KPOV
I approached the bathroom slowly and quietly as to not alert her. I could hear her sobbing. I opened the bathroom door and closed it behind me. I sat next to her on the floor and took her in my arms. She sobbed into my chest.
After a few minutes she was just sniffling. I reached over the toilet and pulled some toilet roll from the holder and gave it to Clare.
"Thank you", she said hoarsely. She wiped her eyes and blew her nose. She then turned fully to me.
CLARE POV
I gave Kristen my full attention.
"I'm really sorry for my husband's behaviour tonight; I don't know what has got into him. This baby is a blessing not a curse. Whatever you and Rob decide is up to you and what you think is best. Don't listen to what other people say. How you bring this child up is your decision and if both of you or just one of you leaves your career then it doesn't matter. It is what you think is best. Whatever you choose, I will stand behind the decision and back it up. Don't you worry about Richard, me and him will have words tonight." I breathed a sigh of relief after finishing.
KPOV
I was crying after that speech, there was so much emotion behind it.
"Thank you. I really appreciate it. Please don't have a fight on my account". I told her.
"I won't dear, I just want to understand his thinking and try and change it. But it doesn't matter because at the end of the day you are both adults and you make your own decisions." She replied back. She stood up at that point and put out her hand for be to grab. She pulled me up.
She then pulled me into a tight hug.
"You make my son so happy and I can never thank you enough for it. I can't wait for you two to marry. You will be a part of my family legally but that doesn't matter, I consider you family now. Come on lets go".
I followed her out of the bathroom and into the living room. You could cut the tension with a knife.
My parents had their coats on and walked over to me.
"We are going now sweetheart. I will see you tomorrow". My mother said.
"Bye". I said while kissing them both on the cheek. Robs parents soon followed. His father kept his head down the entire time.
When everyone was gone I let out a sigh of relief. At least we got that out of the way even if it turned out like that. Rob walked up to me and took my hand, we walked to the bedroom. He did the same thing to me as he did last night and before I knew it we were both lying in bed.
"I'm sorry about my father. I don't want you upset over it". He whispered.
"I won't. Only what you think is important to me". I replied whispering as well.
"I love you", he said to me.
"I love you", he said to the baby.
"I love you too Rob. Forever and always". I told him. I snuggled into him and suddenly felt very tired. Tomorrow we were talking to Summit, I hope it doesn't include as must drama as tonight did. I don't know how much more I can take.
Summit tomorrow. What will be the outcome be? Good or bad. Find out tomorrow.
